Other manufacturers seem to be rolling out similar financial services too, so it might be becoming an industry standard.

Given past failures, there's a chance the design of today's installment plans has actually improved.

Argentina has long had a strong culture of this kind of installment sales, so it seems like a sensible move.

I'm curious exactly how they index a payment-in-installments scheme to inflation in a high-inflation country.

They're probably mostly designing these installment plans as index-linked to hedge against risk.
